On-line tools for microscopic and macroscopic monitoring of microwave processing

S. Vaucher, P. Unifantowicz, C. Ricard, Luc Dubois, M. Kuball, J.-M. Catala-Civera, Dominique Bernard, M. Stampanoni, R. Nicula

Direct monitoring of temperature, chemistry and microstructure is required to understand microwave heating in more detail, in order to fully exploit the unique features this non-equilibrium processing method can offer. In this paper, we show first that microwave radiometry can be used to follow…

Compact multilayer piezoresistive gauge for in-plane strain measurement in liquids

Jean-Baptiste Bureau, Bernard Legrand, Dominique Collard, Lionel Buchaillot

This paper presents an original piezoresistive strain gauge architecture based on two polysilicon layers able to sense in-plane strain. These gauges are electrically isolated from the external environment in order to be used in liquids. The presented design is based on three optimization keypoints…

Energy transfer between semiconductor nanocrystals : validity of Förster's theory

Guy Allan, Christophe Delerue

We theoretically study the energy transfer between semiconductor nanocrystals and we calculate the rate of this process in the case of direct-gap (InAs) and indirect-gap (Si) semiconductors. The calculations are based on the tight-binding method that enables us to determine the transfer rate,…

Ionization energy of donor and acceptor impurities in semiconductor nanowires: importance of dielectric confinement

Mamadou Diarra, Yann-Michel Niquet, Christophe Delerue, Guy Allan

Calculations of the electronic states of donor and acceptor impurities in nanowires show that the ionization energy of the impurities is strongly enhanced with respect to the bulk, above all when the wires are embedded in a material with a low dielectric constant. In free-standing nanowires with…

Imaging electron wave functions inside open quantum rings

F. Martins, B. Hackens, Marco G. Pala, Thierry Ouisse, Hermann Sellier, X. Wallart, S. Bollaert, A. Cappy, Joël Chevrier, V. Bayot, Serge Huant

Combining Scanning Gate Microscopy (SGM) experiments and simulations, we demonstrate low temperature imaging of electron probability density $|\Psi|^{2}(x,y)$ in embedded mesoscopic quantum rings (QRs). The tip-induced conductance modulations share the same temperature dependence as the Aharonov-…
